MAD DOG CURED HIM.

A very touching story comes from Geor-
gia, of one JOHN HRNDRICKs, who had
long thought he was terribly afflicted with
rheumatism. His legs would tie them
selves into bow knots, his feet would get
in one another's way, and his hands and
arms would refuse to do his bidding, or at
least they never did anything. Patent
medicines, Iiniment, porous plasters and
the like were only an aggravation, and his
life became q burden, especially to hts
friends.
But last week while reclining under his
fayorite shade tree mad dog passed cy
that way with men in hot pursuit sending
bullets among the branches. This same
Mr.. HENDRICKS forgot that such thing
as rheumatism had ever been invented, he
leaped into the air, danced an Indian war
dance, raised q whOOp Of defiance and
went for home so fast that his coat tail
flew like the tail of a comet. His rheu-
matism was thoroughly cured and has not
yet returned.
Mad dog cured him. To those who
wish to try the same remedy we would
add these directions: in ordinary cases,
one mad dog shaken well before using"
This incident shows the influence OF
imagination. This man believed he was
dreadfully afflicted with rheumatism and
it took lively chase from mad dog to
convince him otherwise. If the truth
were made known a very large part OF the
ills that now aflliet humanity would BE-
found to he imaginary.

THE Clarksburg NetRs thus sums up the
political situation in our State: The Re
publican party has emerged from the SEN
atOrial contest in worst shape than its OPP
pOnents. Ii was 50 engaged in trying to
increase diScOrd in the Democratic ranks
that not enough attention was paid to its
own members. The five Republicans who
voted for CAMDEN are being ruundly
abused by the Republican press or part Of
it. And yet these members claim that
they were urged to vote ~ they did by
numbers of Republicans in their counties.
This would indicate that all Is not har-
mOniOus in their party and abuse by news
papers will not tend to make it more so.
The Democrats are now done quarrelliug.
The next year will he spent in preplr-
for vigorous campaign by a united De
mOcracy against foe that is quarrcling
aud fighting in its own household.
From what our Democratic exchanges
say, the Democracy throughout the State
is in a hopeful condition and will SOon he
in excellent fighting trim.

Early Railroad Days.

In 1928 Peter Cooper bought 1900
acres of land in Baltimore, and began to
build the Canton Iron Works. He be-
came interested in the new railway, and
set about trying to build a machine that
would displace the horse. In his glue
factory in New York, on sold middle road, :"
somewhere between Thirty-frst and Thir-
ty-second streets, he had an old stationary
engine with boiler about the size of a
barrel, and a cylinder 81 inches in dame
ter. He had this engine brought to Bal
timore, and taking it to carriage-maker's
he mounted it on truck and connected it
with the wheels by an ordinary crank. 1t
was funny-looking machine. Mr.. Coop
er, however, was confident of his power.
He invited the directors and several guests
-42 in all-and the train Of one car and
the engine started off with its load of scared
and wondering passengers. Thirteen miles
on an up grade was made in one hour and
twelve minutes and the return trip was
made in fifty-seven minutes, arate of speed
that made the eyes Of the passengers bulge
with astonishment aThis was" said Mr..
Cooper, shortly before his death, ''the first
passenger engine built in America, and the
first passenger train that was ever drawn
by an engine on this continent" A funny
incident occurred on the return trip. A
coach drawn by the crack horses of the city
offered to race to Baltimore. Engineer
Cooper gladly accepted the offer and the
race began. The horses jumped off ahead.
Mr.. Cooper put on more steam. The lit
tie engine crawled up. It got even with
the flying animals. The race was nip and
tuck when all Of a sudden the band slipped
off the fly wheel. Engineer Cooper at
tempted to replace it, and in doing so he
lacerated his hand. The horses won the
race, and Peter Cooper was the victim Of
the first railroad accident in America.
Among the men greatly interested in
the new road was a machinist named Wi
mans. He built successful sailing car and
made various improvements. One day a
pleasant-looking stranger entered his shop
and began asking questions. He answered
them good-naturedly and intelligently, and
he was assisted in the courtesies by his
young son Thomas, The visitor was very
much delighted, and he soon announced
himself as Baron Krudener, the Russian
Minister. He had come over from Wash.
ington to look into the new enterprise
The result of it all was that Machinist Wi.
mans made locomotive and pile driver
for the Gar, and the son went across the
sea to show the Russians how to work the
new machines. When this young me
chanic came back be was several times Q
millionaire, and in short time all the mem
bers of the family were wealthy. This Is
the wealth that now enables Thomas Wi.
mans to lease the largest game preserve in
